Finding the right location (front to rear) is far more important iMO. I run a shorty and my buggy is great, planted and drives where I tell it. My buddy has one and runs standard pack and we battle all the time. So thinking of it that way if you have traction issues and can find a balance the large pack will be nice, if you can find the right traction w/ the shorty it gives you a lot more space to find the right f/r balance to help jumping etc. I actually have mine two-way taped in place as the ideal location didn't line up w/ the hold downs.
